Payroll Services Module

The Payroll Services module (PS) provides payroll-related master and configuration data: providers, target systems, wage types, and salary accounting maintenance.

The central flow – from creating an accounting period through the approval workflow to export and payslip distribution – is described in the chapter Salary Accounting Process.

Use cases

• Configure payroll providers
• Configure payroll target systems
• Maintain wage types
• Maintain salary accounting structures and mappings
• Review PS configuration lists for troubleshooting

Typical roles

• Payroll administrator
• Finance/payroll operations
• Integration administrator
• Support engineer

Customer value

• Centralizes controlled payroll master data in one place
• Reduces downstream payroll processing errors through consistent setup

Configuration

Configuration happens primarily through explicit maintenance actions; there is no dedicated configurable default action:

• Create and edit providers (ps_editProvider)
• Create and edit systems (ps_editSystem)
• Create and edit wage types (ps_editWageType)
• Create and edit salary accounting (ps_editSalaryAccounting)

PS has no job layer of its own; the module relies primarily on accurately maintained master data plus workflow system steps and connector links. When rolling this out, focus discussion on interface contracts (provider/system), wage-type governance, and end-to-end validation of the payroll export against customer-specific data – details in the chapter Salary Accounting Process.
